Describe the feature/enhancement

Hi developer,

it would be great to have an automatic download of podcasts which are added due to an rss link, e.g.
https://finanzfluss.podigee.io/feed/mp3
https://chaosradio.de/feed/mp3

or maybe it would be good to have an selection of the new podcasts episodes which should be downloaded (so not all and only the interesting podcasts should be downloaded)

Currently I use FreshRSS or AntennaPod, but for syncing the listening progress it would be nice if I could also use audiobookshelf.

You can schedule automatic episode downloads in the "Schedule" tab

You can also download individual episodes by pressing the search button

There is another feature request open to apply filters to automatic downloads.

I think that covers everything you are asking but let me know.

Thanks you.
For me it's not that clear where I can add the rss-feed-links.
Can you please also add screenshots for setting up a podcast?

EDIT: Found it. So solved :)
